Re: HOWTO: NTFS with read/write support using ntfs-3g (easy method)

Normaly, there is no restriction to use mount instead of ntfs-3g or fusermount, since mount is the only command use at boot time to mount partition. mount will just call the ntfs-3g driver, which will call fusermount to mount the partition.
But yeah, if it doesn't work you can always try that.

EDIT: this is avaible, IF ONLY the drive you want to mount is in /etc/fstab and have ntfs-3g for driver.

I have only one NTFS partition so i couln't try it, but like said before, you will have access to only the first NTFS partition in fstab from place>cumputer or from the desktop.
But your partition will be mounted in /media/windowsI and you can view it with nautilus. You can even make a bookmark to this directory.

Have a look at 'man ntfs-3g'.
Currently the owner and the group is set to root, but umask=0 make the dirve R/W for everybody.
You could try to add the option uid=1000,gid=1001, but i guess your problem is something else. What are the permissions and the owner of the file in this drive?
